Detailed implementation manners

[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] As Figures 1-4 shown, a foldable ironing board includes a panel 1 and a bracket assembly 2 installed at the bottom of the panel 1. A plurality of connecting blocks 4 are provided at the bottom of the panel 1, and a connecting portion 5 is provided on the connecting blocks 4. The bracket assembly 2 is foldably installed on the connecting blocks 4 through the connecting portion 5. When not in use, it can be folded, occupying a smaller space and being convenient for storage. After folding, the bracket assembly 2 fits against the bottom of the panel 1, and the length of the bracket assembly 2 after folding is less than the length of the panel, without any redundant part protruding from the panel 1, further reducing the volume after folding. A limiting block 6 is provided at the bottom of the panel 1, and the limiting block 6 is located outside the bracket assembly 2. The bracket assembly 2 is in a shape of an inverted V after being fully unfolded, and the limiting block 6 abuts against the outer end of the bracket assembly 2, effectively preventing the bracket assembly 2 from continuing to rotate after being fully unfolded and increasing the stability during use. A telescopic extension rack 7 is provided on one side of the panel 1. The extension rack 7 can be pulled out or pushed in manually. Pulling out the extension rack 7 can be used to place the iron, and when the length of the panel 1 is not sufficient for the user, the extension rack 7 can also be pulled out to increase the length of the panel, increasing the usable area of the ironing board. Pushing the extension rack 19 inward when not in use is convenient for storage, meeting the different usage requirements of users and also being convenient for storage.

[0026] One side of the shown limit block 6 close to the bracket assembly 2 is provided with an inclined surface 10, and the bracket assembly 2 leans against the inclined surface 10 after being fully unfolded. The design of the inclined surface can increase the contact area with the bracket assembly 2 and further increase the stability during use after unfolding.

[0027] The shown connecting part 5 includes a groove 8 on the connecting block 4 and a fixing piece 9 installed on the connecting block 4. The bracket assembly 2 is installed between the groove 8 and the fixing piece 9. The fixing piece 9 is installed on the fixing block 4 by means of threads and is used to cover the bracket assembly 2 to prevent it from falling off.

[0028] The shown bracket assembly 2 includes two brackets 11 respectively located on both sides of the panel 1. The bracket 11 includes a cross bar 12 and longitudinal bars 13 connected to both ends of the cross bar 12. Both the cross bar 12 and the longitudinal bars 13 are cylindrical rods. The cross bar 12 is rotatably installed in the groove 8. The bracket 11 is folded in a rotational manner through the cross bar 12. When folding, the two brackets 11 move in opposite directions and rotate inward until the two longitudinal bars 13 are attached to the bottom of the panel 1, and the lengths of the two longitudinal bars 13 are less than the length of the panel, without any excess protruding from the panel 1.

[0029] The bottom of the shown groove 8 is provided with a first arc portion 14 adapted to the cross bar 12, and the center of the fixing piece 9 is provided with a second arc portion 15 adapted to the cross bar 12. The cross bar 12 is clamped between the first arc portion 14 and the second arc portion 15, which is convenient for limiting the cross bar 12 and also enables it to rotate.

[0030] The shown panel 1 is provided with a plurality of uniformly distributed ventilation holes 16. When using an iron to iron clothes, the clothes will get hot due to the high temperature. The design of the ventilation holes 16 helps to dissipate the heat on the clothes. And common irons use steam to iron clothes. The cloth cover 3 is made of a fabric with good air permeability, and the generated steam can pass through the cloth cover 3 and flow out from the ventilation holes 16, avoiding excessive accumulation of steam to wet the clothes.

[0031] One side of the shown ventilation hole 16 close to the cloth cover 3 is provided with a guiding surface 17. The guiding surface 17 is an inclined surface, which plays a guiding role in the flow of gas, helps the steam to flow, and can flow out through the ventilation hole 16 faster.

[0032] The extended rack 7 shown includes at least two connecting rods 18 and a limiting rack 19 perpendicular to the connecting rods 18. The limiting rack 19 is located at the end of the connecting rods 18. When the extended rack 7 is fully retracted, the limiting rack 19 abuts against the side wall of the panel 1 to prevent it from going too deep. The limiting rack 19 can also be used to place clothes. On one side of the panel 1, there is an installation block 20 corresponding to the position of the connecting rod 18. The installation block 20 is provided with a through hole adapted to the connecting rod 18. The connecting rod 18 passes through the through hole and can be displaced laterally within the through hole, realizing expansion and contraction by moving within the through hole. A bending portion 21 is provided at the end of the connecting rod 18, and the bending portion 21 cannot enter the through hole to prevent the extended rack 7 from being pulled out.

[0033] An elastic band is provided on the outer edge of the cloth cover 3 shown. The cloth cover 3 is sleeved on the panel 1 through the elastic band, which is relatively convenient to disassemble.

[0034] An anti-slip sleeve 22 is provided at the end of the longitudinal rod 13, which can increase the friction and play an anti-slip effect.

[0035] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and the present utility model can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present utility model. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description. Therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the present utility model, and any reference signs in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claims involved.
